Learning Objectives
Students will identify the probability of outcomes using a die.
Introduction
(15 minutes)- Explain to students that they will be learning about a statistic called probability.
- Write the word "Probability" and the definition, the likelihood that something will happen, on the board.
- Hold up a die and ask the students how many numbers are on the die.
- Roll the die a few times and record the numbers rolled on the board.
- Lead a conversation with the students to discuss the probability of how likely it is to roll a number until students realize the probability of rolling any number on a die is 1/6.
